WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

heywatchmego You will never forget this movie. Win lose, or draw. If Meryl Streep doesn't deserve an Academy Award for this performance, no one did, ever. Ever.

irisheyes-80258 Just watched this and found myself laughing out loud throughout the movie. There is some great acting here by Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts as well as the rest of the cast. Never a dull moment in this movie which kept my interest and attention throughout. To tell the truth I watched it because I wanted to see Misty Upham; turned out she had a small part though she played it well. Was surprised by how awesome Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts and the rest of the cast were, think this movie should have won more awards than it did.

lavatch "August: Osage County" may be the most brutally pessimistic play/film since Gorki's "The Lower Depths" in the nineteenth century. But in this case, the depressing experience is not focused on the fated action of the lower class in Russia, but rather the neurosis of the American family.While Eugene O'Neill addressed the results of repression and family secrets in his masterpiece "Long Day's Journey Into Night, playwright and screenwriter Tracy Letts appears to have an even bleaker vision of family dysfunction. While the film's focal point may be the mother-daughter relationship of Violet Weston (Meryl Streep) and her daughter Barbara (Julia Roberts), every character in the extended family is afflicted is enmeshed in the same destructive family system. The characters collide, bouncing off each other like billiard balls.At times, the depth of cruelty stretches credibility. This is especially apparent in Streep's character Violet. Many of her thoughtless and biting attacks on her her daughters went beyond belief. Similarly, the cruelty of Violet sister Mattie Fae (Margo Martindale) towards her son "Little Charles" (Benedict Cumberbatch) seemed to come out of nowhere when she confronted him at the piano.The depiction of the family train wreck is nonetheless compelling and provides a lesson in sensitizing ourselves to each other. The characters in this film never seemed grateful to have a family. Perhaps viewers can walk away from the experience with a new outlook on loved ones. After all, it can't get much worse than the month of August in Osage County.

vitariz wasted cast for such a bore. too neurotic a mother-daughter relationship worthless of showing. vulgar language and shouted insults are totally unnecessary and irritating. highly disengaging and unattractive. overall it is slower than a tortoise, dropping attention instead of building momentum.it must have been a pretty good magnet to work with miss Meryl, especially for the Brits (i.e. Ewan Mcgregor and Benedict Cumberbatch), otherwise they should have stayed home doing some gardening.overall, this is another movie with dark blue lighting, a lot of car rides only because gas is cheap and plenty of door slamming and furniture banging. skip it and you will be just fine.
